I finally decided to install my spare Dana 44 rear axle assembly into Wilson-Wilson. I purchased this axle several years ago from a member here (thanks, Jeff!), "just in case". It's a low mileage early CJ5 axle with the correct 4.27 gears. I have been into the original Dana several times and have basically replaced everything except the ring gear and pinion and the carrier, but it still has a little whine that drives me crazy. The one I just installed is very quiet. I'll wrap the old one up and put it away, "just in case"!
